mercantile, conversational, collaborative, shopkeeper Budha is friendly with
economic-systems regulator Shani. Budha may indicate the junior partner,
the salesperson, the explainer while the Shani partner is more concerned
with longevity and continuity of the operation.

Nakshatra
of Brihaspati * Guru and
Shani are mutually neutral. Brihaspati welcomes
every experience into the full totality of awareness, and Shani provides the
structure which grants a lawful coherence to the unfolding of that
tapestry of experience.

Pushya is considered to be the most auspicious of the twenty-seven lunar mansions. The symbols for this asterism are a lotus, circle, arrow and the udder of the sacred cow. The ancient name of Pushya in the Rig Veda was Tishya, the Celestial Archer. It has a deva temperament with the primary motivation of dharma, or right action. The ruling planet is Shani, or Saturn, which grounds the energy of this powerful nakshatra. The chief deity is Brahaspati, the High Priest of the Gods. The shakti of Pushya is "the ability to create spiritual energy".

BPL commentary Pushya nakshatra

Shani-ruled Pushya feels a natural rhythm in customary and conventional
status hierarchies and established social ranks.

Affinity for the
staidly ceremonial pomp and circumstance of the government and the temple. Comfortable in regulated, orderly Shani-environments
of legislation, regulation, and maintenance of the social order.

Pushya is charitable by nature but also quite lawful and concerned with security as a matter of public order. Often a functionary in official organizations such as recognized charities.

Pushya take a systematic Shani-ized view of the Karkata's oceans. Often gifted in
navigation, ship-craft, and seamanship. Pushya are often superbly ordered and
procedural in their capacity to manipulate and direct a ship; thus roles
such as naval commander and shipmaster come easily whether for career or for
sport.

Naturally suited for Navy and maritime leadership roles, albeit the
placement of Chandra and Shani must be considered. Pushya may find their way
into various oceanic environments such as shipping industry, government
regulation of waterways, or maritime policy.

As children, Pushya persons
may seem adult-oriented (Shani) perhaps humorless, awkward socially, and
stiff in movement. The three Shani-ruled Nakshatra (Pushya, Anuradha,
Uttarabhadrapada) tend to be uncomfortable with aggressive movement, and
thus less popular among the other children. Pushya like Anuradha and
Uttarabhadrapada tends to blossom only after
Shani matures at age 36.

Elder persons, old rules, rigid structures, age and time, resistance to change, status hierarchies, social class barriers, large organizations, public opinion, bureaucracies, regulatory requirements, legal systems,
and corporate or institutional officials
may be especially influential.

Instructional guidance is provided from the
civilizations of Asellus. Their purpose is the
lawful, hierarchically ordered maintenance of the customary
folk habits in the place of settlement.

Both deeply caring and socially regulatory, Vukrita ladies are often found at the director level of
hierarchical organizations that are dedicated to family, parent, and
citizen welfare.

Deeply patriotic and protectionist by nature, they have a gift for combining a
secure family life with larger social responsibilities. Sidhya feminine figures are influential in the material world, respected
for their orderly yet sensitive conduct, and particularly dedicated to the
safety of women and children.

Themes of parental duty, civic responsibility, patriotism, dignity of the
family, and foundational legal protections may contextualize Pushya's
terrestrial experience. Applies also to
Chandra in Pushyami.

Laws and Customs

Shani-ruled Pushyami
gentlemen are often found at the director level of government, corporate,
and institutional organizations. They combine the local sensibilities of
security-seeking Chandra with the larger structural, legal frameworks of
national and international regulation. Deeply patriotic and defensive by
nature, Sidhya-born usually remain close to their roots while they
obtain& respected, socially recognized positions in institutions,
bureaucracies, and agencies of government.

Sidhya-born are influential in the world and reputed
for their culturally sensitive judgment. Found in all of the Chandra-karaka
areas such as transportation, farming and fishing, home-building and
real-estate, schools, houses of worship, and parenting, Tishya-born feel
close to the land. Yet they are socially responsible, and usually elect to
serve as judges, directors, or other official roles (Shani) that provide an
orderly process (Shani) for governance of their place of settlement.

Pushyami may specialize in cultural boundary-protection, making of reserved
areas both social and natural, lawful preservation of ethnic practices, and
legal recognition for cultural minorities. Tisya fellows are particularly dedicated
to environmental protection, land ownership, and property rights.

Themes of parental duty, civic responsibility,
patriotism, dignity of the family, and foundational legal protections may contextualize Pushya's
terrestrial experience. Applies also to
Chandra in Pushyami.

Kumbha = the
7th navamsha,
broadly suggesting spousal characteristics of pragmatic nature, maturity,
seniority, affinity for large organized systems, social networking, economic
participation, awareness of time, work ethic, and scientific perspective. D-1
Shani' an
indicate the lifemate's social context and position. Graha residing within
the 7th navamsha ++ graha-yuti-Shani in D-1 can contribute more detailed behaviors.

The Pushya-pada-1 nativity shows many of the typical Simha
traits of glittering intelligence, enjoyment of center-stage roles, interest
in politics and drama, and natural self-centered authority.

Vrishabha
on the
10th-navamsha suggests that the
Pushya-pada-1 nativity is typically professionally engaged with matters of
Vrishabha such as visual arts, beautification, women's ornamentation and
fashion, flowers, perfumes and aromatic oils, sensual pleasures,
eyes-hair-face, mouth-teeth, song and music, facial beauty,
eyesight, banking and financial treasures, sweets and liquors, dairy foods
and cattle.

Any graha located in
Vrishabha 10th-navamsha are definitive for professional portfolio and public
service. The public career may be subject to revaluation and
reassessment because Professor Zukra indicates historical, financial, and
aesthetic value.

If, within the Simha
swamsha, the nakshatra of the
navamsha-lagna
lies between 13:21 and 26:39 (Purvaphalguni) then the Zukra-ruled
artistic, musical, beauty. and finance indicators are further strengthened.

The Pushya-pada-2 nativity shows
many of the typical Kanya-Parthya
traits of service-ministry and orientation to health care, unbalanced
or exploitive arrangements, and instinct toward mitigation of pollution (elimination, cleanisng).

Any graha located in
Mithunaya 10th-navamsha are definitive for professional portfolio and public
service. The definition of the public career may be subject to re-describing
and re-explaining because Professor Budha indicates chattering.

Professor Budha
rules both swamsha and 10th-navamsha
which increases the propensity toward careers of an administrative,
project-managing nature. Business orientation is pronounced. Enhanced
capacity for repetitive messaging work, evangelical work, planning,
schedules, meetings, itineraries, and reporting. The disposition of Budha is
therefore critically important in predicting and assessing the professional
career.

Due to the adversarial
attitude of Budha toward lagnesha Chandra, the habitual, emotional rhythms
of the fleshbody (which prefers to be in a predictable, familiar, sheltered,
homelike place) might not always coordinate with the alacritous, mentalized
patterns of the professional environments. This tension often exacerbates
the digestive ailments associated with
Kanya-Parthya. It is often helpful to
work at home, or work aboard a ship.

The Pushya-pada-3 nativity
shows many of the typical Thula-Vanika
traits of bargaining, trade, negotiation, match-making, deal-making, concern
with the terms of the contractual agreement, and seeking of alliance.

Any graha located in
patriotic Karkata 10th-navamsha are definitive for professional portfolio and public
service. The definition of the public career may fluctuate because Professor
Chandra indicates Ebb and Flow.

The Pushya-pada-4 nativity
shows many of the typical Vrizchika
traits of pursuit of hidden empowerments, sharp focus on the mysterious and
confidential, drive to control, manipulative or intrusive nature, explosions
and implosions, and energetic penetration of secrets.

Any graha located in glittering Simha 10th-navamsha are definitive for professional portfolio and public
service. The public career may be brightly visible because Professor
Ravi indicates
self-referential radiance.

There is potential for the development of a
splendid healer and brilliant symbol of intelligent transformation. But
there is an equal potential for the development of a political figure whose
personal need for comfort and keeping of family secrets may weaken the
effectiveness of leadership.
